iran is located in arid and semiarid areas based on continental divisions; any change in precipitation would have potential effects on agriculture, economic and other related issues in general. therefore, it is of high importance to know and identify the moisture-related sources needed to study the country’s precipitation data. for this purpose, it is important to correlate monthly precipitatio...

Sea shores of Gilan Province is one off the biggest tourist attractions in Iran. This area have valuable forests and grasslands. In addition it provides significant amount of corps like rice, tea, olive. Considering this facts, environmental protection of this area must be priority for national government. However waste management instruction have been ratified in Iran, there isn’t any specific...

The aim of this paper is to investigate characteristics of meteorological and agricultural droughts and their trends in Iran, as well as several subregions with different climate conditions from 1980 to 2013. The Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) and Standardized Soil Moisture Index (SSI) are used as the primary indicators of meteorological and agricultural droughts, respectively. This stu...

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) enzyme catalyses the first step in pentose phosphate pathway (conversion of glucose-6-phosphat to 6-phospho gluconat) which provides cells with pentoses and reduction power in the form of NADPH. In the present study we have analyzed the G6PD gene mutations in 76 patients with a history of favism in Khorasan province in Iran. DNA samples were analyzed for...

We study an economy where agents are heterogeneous in terms of observable wealth and unobservable talent. Adverse selection forces creditors to ask for collateral. We study the two-way interaction between rationing in the credit market and the wages offered in the labor market. Both pooling and separating credit contracts can be offered in equilibrium. The minimum wealth needed to obtain a sepa...

in this research, for synchronization analysis of black sea high pressure with daily precipitation in iran data base have been created with using the sea level pressure data in reanalysis ii database in national centers for environmental prediction(ncep)/national center for atmospheric research(ncar). temporal resolution of data is daily and spatial resolution is 2.5 㗠2.5 degrees of arc. fram...

A new and distinctive species of lacertid genus Acanthodactylus Fitzinger, 1834 is described from 7 km east of Khamir Port, Hormozgan Province, southern Iran at an elevation of 30-40m above sea level (asl). Analyses of morphological characters and the comparison with other formerly known species of this genus have proven the status of this taxon as a new, distinct species. Combinations of scala...

at the boundary between jurassic and cretaceous, because of late kimmerian movements, the sea ragressed from many areas of north and cantral iran, and many continental areas rose, which included a number of differentiated basins. the boundary between jurassic and cretaceous in these parts of iran is usually marked by a big diastem or by red, clastic and evaporitic sediments. the whole or part o...
